Football: Bessemer City at CSD at Hopewell HS Field

Kickoff: 7:30 p.m at Hopewell High School. Comm. School of Davidson Day (3-3) vs. Bessemer City (4-2). Last meeting: Bessemer City won 38-30 last year. Players to watch: CSD – RB Joey Bernardini, LB Nick Piselli, QB Toby Sharp; Bessemer City – RB Cedric Mackey, RB Tyler Bess, DE Trevor Humphries. THE SKINNY: This is the Southern Piedmont 1A conference opener, and both teams should be in contention for the title. CSD should be rested after a bye week. Bernardini (883 rushing yards, 14 touchdowns) is one of the area’s top offensive players. Bessemer City also prefers a ground game, meaning this game likely will be decided by the big guys along the line of scrimmage.
